The logo has the same colour letters, Desperate Dan's on the front again and it just has the same overall feel, on the cover anyway. Your thoughts?

Thing is, it was broken! As representatives of DC Thomson have said, sales were low before the revamp so something needed to be done. Personally I liked the changes, although I do have a nostalgic soft spot for comic strips on covers.

In just over a year's time The Dandy will be 70 years old so 2007 should be an interesting year.
